Social contraptions as breaching environments
Pages 393 - 394
Abstract
A major challenge for developers of tangible, embedded and embodied interfaces is the understanding of dynamic social contexts. To address this challenge, the concept of "social contraptions" is proposed. Social contraptions are interactive installations and performative interventions employed as designerly explorations of social relations.

Cyranic contraptions: using personality surrogates to explore ontologically and socially dynamic contexts
DESIRE '11: Procedings of the Second Conference on Creativity and Innovation in DesignUnderstanding contexts is an important challenge that is made harder for designers by the increasing speed at which contexts change. To assist designers, three types of contextual dynamism are distinguished: physical, ontological and social. To inform ...
Getting a grip on tangible interaction: a framework on physical space and social interaction
CHI '06: Proceedings of the SIGCHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsOur current understanding of human interaction with hybrid or augmented environments is very limited. Here we focus on 'tangible interaction', denoting systems that rely on embodied interaction, tangible manipulation, physical representation of data, ...
Design for social interaction through physical play in diverse contexts of use
Products can support user groups in social interaction and/or physical play in various ways. Depending on the requirements and needs of specific user groups and contexts of use, different approaches are applied to create successful designs. This special ...
